The Hunting of the Shark

For two decades, Lone Shark Games has been the go-to company for puzzlehunts across the country. We've run a couple hundred convention events, game launches, community events, escape rooms, and ARGs, all packed with the finest puzzles by the finest puzzle creators. But there's been one consistent issue: When a hunt is over, its puzzles disappear. Our customer service shark, Sharky McSharkerson, has fielded untold requests to release a hunt after it ends. Sharky doesn't do that. He's kept them locked in Sharky's Puzzle Vault. Until today.

To celebrate our 20th anniversary year, we're putting hundreds of puzzles, many in full hunt form, into a full-color, 296-page hardcover coffee table book. There are at least 300 puzzles in The Hunting of the Shark: Twenty Years of Lone Shark Puzzlehunts, some of types you've never seen. This collector's edition is one of the largest puzzle troves ever released, and we're excited to share it with you.

But that's not all. We've got a lot of puzzles that Just. Won't. Fit! So, we're creating a subscription site called Chums, where we'll publish 10 or more puzzles every month, some in hunt form. Every pledge for the book comes with a year's subscription to the Chums site. Plus there's a giant Puzzlevania Poster Map and a new variety crossword book called Mindspaces. We've got a few levels called Sharknado, Card Shark, and The Meg, where you can get all our puzzle books and games for quite a deal.

The Hunting of the Shark is only available for our 20th anniversary. After our pledge manager closes, we'll print this once. That's it. We'll keep copies for our web store and cons, but it won't be sent to distribution. If you want 300 of our coolest puzzles in a fancy book, pick it up here. There's a lot more to say about it, so let's take a bite.
